Which track to use?
Abit confused with the tracks. I'm using the plasma track but I've noticed the blendos track is titled custome and has a slew of pkgs.
Also with plasma track do I add 'plasma' or plasma or 'kde'or kde or do I just stick with 'blendos'
Not clear which direction to take. Would appreciate a clear explanation instead of a plain link to the blendos website as that dosnt really cut the mustard at all

There’s no blendos track
All desktop tracks inherit the base track

i dont get this at all and the instructions on the blendos is very unclear to me
i only have this in my system.yaml

surly using blendos isnt harder to implement then NixOS??
Also, why YAML? personally i ffound it to be the worst syntax method to use esecially when it comes to reformatting the config fileYour track needs to inherit the base track
system.yaml - blendOS
system.yaml config reference
I'm sorry but the instructions on the website don't help. What am I suppose to track from the custome repo. What is the instructions to grab the info and exactly what am I suppose to import from my github into the system yaml. Sending me to the documentation dosnt help unfortunately as it's too Gray and confusing. The docs really need to be reviewed and give examples of what is to be placed into the system yaml and what is to be added into the remote repo. I simply don't get it.
https://git.blendos.co/blendos/tracks is a working example
custom means your track inherits nothing
for a desktop track you want to inherit blendos-base and have its impl set to https://github.com/blend-os/tracks/raw/main (because that's where the blendos-base track is)Still not clear what it does. So your instructions say that in the track of system yaml if u put gnome it will automatically pull the gnome.yaml . So if I put track tolga it will pull in the tolga.yaml automatically? We need explanations as such if this is the case
no
impl defines where the tracks are, track is the name of the track file in the impl folder
this is explained in the system.yaml reference if you click the little + next to trackSolution
